I'm not getting into The Giving Tree discourse...
#personal#delete later#idk i just saw a post of the “alternate ending” comic on my dash and everyone praising it as an improvement and “fixing” the original#which i kinda resent#while tulli and i was taking my nephew to a book store we walked around the kids section and found the giving tree and we read through it#and i was so stricken by how profoundly sad it is. it's not a happy story#in the end both versions tell the exact same lesson. but one flat out tells you and the other makes you sit with a pit in your stomach#and work to find the answer#i dunno it's kids literature but kids literature is important. i don't wanna discredit anyone's bad memories with the book but also i think#sometimes it's ok to make kids a bit sad and upset with fiction.#tweet that goes “what if romeo and juliet didn't kill themselves and explained to the audience that family feuds are bad”#idk you can't seriously read the original book as an adult and say it's glorifying self-martyrdom#when the final drawing of the book is of an old tired man sitting on arotting stump with his hat fallen to the ground#again i don't wanna invalidate people's feelings if they enjoy the alt version i think it's really nice too. but the original has its#purpose too. imagine if at the end of the lorax they show that the boy did it and replanted the world happy ending#wait they did that in the movie shit#i dunno i just love somber children's literature. tulli and i are talking about moomin right now and how the series ends with the moomin#family just leaving. and nobody gets to say goodbye to them. their friends have to find ways to live with the emptiness they've left behin

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

I hate hate hate when I see ppl getting my interests WRONG
#I'm talking abt typology ppl are like “assigning mbti types to these characters!! ahem!! there's I for introverted and E for extroverted-”#cognitive functions plssss#and ond typed Yuga as ISTP... where's Ti? explain bc I don't see it at all (or maybe I didn't focus on the anime)#I understand ISFP and ESFJ bc a lot ppl explained why they type him as such in the pdb comments#but on twitter. someone said “I think Yuga would be istp.#“isfp can work too..#“ and there's no explanation#the tweet talking abt mha characters' mbti explained what mbti is by LETTERS (yk those pop psychology 16personalities dot com type of stuff#and they blindly typed the characters based on the most pdb votes#no reasoning at all#just assigning the four letters to each character bc most votes said so#but what if many comments on pdb didn't approve of the typing or the typing is old?? hm?#and ofc my stupid impulsive ass had to correct...#anyways I'm sure many ppl relate to having your interests misinterpreted and treated inaccurately#rant#if these ppl go and tell me “it's just for fun! it's not that deep!!” as a response I'm gonna crash out#then go with those “what type of burger are they” shit and leave typology alone (idk if astrology lovers feel the same too with pop culture)

me when i see yet another statement from the arcane writers:
#arcane critical#im taking death of the author to the extreme#what happened to letting your writing speak for yourself#instead of trying to explain things post release#and making everything feel hollow#you cant just explain unclear things in a tweet and act like it fixes criticism#if its not intext it doesnt matter#all it does is make me respect the media less#respect the writers ability less#and leave me frustrated#can someone tell them to shut the fuck up before i cant even watch season one#they are ruining their own damn show#by exposing how little attention they even paid to it originally

Do you laugh a lot? I kinda wonder how your laugh sounds like
i accidentally laugh when i'm nervous so i tend to get people confused... :(
i have no idea really what my laugh sounds like out loud when thinking of it, most of the time i am a silent/quiet laugher
once in 7th grade i was silently laughing and the boy next to me asked why i vibrate instead of laugh lol
#anonymous#idk i smile and shake w laughter with like sighs? kinda like when you see a funny tweet and you blow air out of your nose#i do laugh out loud sometimes i just don't know how to explain.. lol#is laugh a real word anymore

if i were a hisagi stan i would just keep drawing fanart of him with kazeshini's chains attached to his wallet until i got bullied off the internet
#my kid is going as a grim reaper for halloween and the scythe she wants comes with chains but she doesn't want to use the the chains#'you would look like hisagi' i said#'YOU can do that' she said#'you could use the chain to attach your wallet to your scythe' i said. 'grim reapers love wallet chains.'#'i don't think kazeshini would like that' mr p said#'this is how hisagi got bankai' i replied sagely#i tried to explain the tweet about fighting people in the parking lot with chains and scythes but she hates it when i try to explain tweets

Left wing politicos have conversations with voters outside of your circle challenge.
#that tweet that says you have to explain what VAN is before you post your take on the 2024 election#in all seriousness though there are a lot of takes on here & bluesky and in opinion pages that seem disconnected from reality and what#voters care about#text#us politics

the democratic need to call out alt right/maga/republicans for "lying" when they know, and they don't care, and they'll continue to lie,,, but democrats are so caught up in the need to have their "gotcha" moment, is what, i feel, has caused half of the last 10 years to go so wrong
#posting screenshots of old tweets like that changes anything...like they gaf like they'll change. its not a matter of they lied#theyre just terrible people#so why wouldnt they lie#i dont get the need to have that gotcha moment its so fucking stupid and theres a million more things to do than say ummm actually! you sai#you would bring peace in your campaign! yeah they did it was a lie then and we all knew it so whattttt#maybe someone else can explain it to me#from the cemetery

one of these days wanna talk about game mechanics as storytelling. and worldbuilding
#sure there's plenty of levels on which it makes perfect sense for geo characters to scale off defense#how much of that can be reflected in world? in culture things?#[pointing at all the hydro hp scalers] hey. hey. are there common cultural ideas about that sort of thing#all your elements very helpfully come with a certain ideal associated with them. there has Got to be in-world cultural extensions of that#feelings about getting visions that match or don't match your nation's element. stereotypes abt ppl w different elements#ofc lots of that would be largely arbitrary just like any good 'we have new boxes to sort ppl into :D' system#but there are also plenty of demonstrable similarities you can pull from our selection of playable characters that (sometimes) explain to y#to you in (...some) detail the circumstances under which they got their visions#i lied apparently we're talking abt this now#or at least abt visions since they're on the brain#like. i *do* pretty much ignore the oculi or the sigils as game-side only things#er too- your vision takes as much strength to operate as the story in question requires lol#waypoints i use selectively and pretty much restrict to the traveler for a number of reasons (vary by story)#'this guy scales on attack' is mechanics almost entirely but is very fun to read character implications into#was i going anywhere else with this#idk. game mechanics as storytelling elements are so very fun in any game send tweet#oh!#genshin impact

What’s with stupid online leftists hyper focusing on whatever online, probably fake story they can use to demonize “shit libs”. Do you people not understand that people can just be angry about the election and being browbeat by you guys’s nonchalant attitudes that denied the full scope of a Trump 2 win WITHOUT it meaning they’re evil or privileged white richies who are basically fash?
Saying “well I hope everyone knows what they’re getting” is not fash shit and you guys are really slobbing on trumper knob for some reason. It’s irritating af. Also, I think you idiots really just hate Black people fr. Can you let people be fucking frustrated? Or no?
“UwU if they say ‘I hope you get what you voted for’, that’s horrible and evil and you can tell they never had anything to truly fear bc they use it as a weapon!” Do you people hear yourselves?
Definitely hate the majority of Black people for sure!
#‘i saw a post on reddit’ get off reddit#’someone tried to explain to me how us civics worked bc i came onto THEIR tweet to day they’re evil for voting normally’ THAT’S YOUR FAULT#trying to get people deported or laughing at actual tragedy is bad OBVIOUSLY#but you guys are literally excusing these voters and holding them in higher regard than those who made the right choices bc of spite#another reason why I HAD to divest from these spaces…you people are becoming so radicalized you’re attributing regular emotions#to the alleged inherent evil of liberals rather than recognizing the emotions#and not overhyping it bc you’re aggravated by the results too and clearly had a preference despite saying otherwise#WHY ARE YOU GUYS SAYING YOURE MORE OK WITH T VOTERS BC THEY STRAIGHT UP#JUST DONT BELIEVE HE WILL DO ANY OF THE INSANE SHIT HE SAYS? YOU GUYS NEED TO BE STUDIED#you also are so radicalized (negative) that you only recognize other assholes who are radicalized incl to the right as people anymore

Going off the rules of sonic heroes if we were to trioize the jimas saejima’d obvi fit the power role but now we have to ask what roles majima and daigo fit cause on the one hand i believe majima could pilot a helicopter if he wanted to but on the other hand attributing ‘fly’ to daigo is another case of cruel and unusual punishment
#snap chats#i was gonna say ‘speed’ usually is given to the leader but vectors the leader of the chaotix not espio#vector my best friend ……..#im gonna say majima can get fly cause of that helicopter bullshit he do. you can have that majima#daigo just feels like hes too ‘balanced’ of a guy to be speed tho …. oh well#speed for. WR in how quick you can get shot into your chairmanship idk#FASTEST HAND IN THE EAST WAIT naw we got it. it checks out#well done team our impulsive assignment spurred by a tweet has been done efficiently#its so funny calling the jimas a trio cause since KH im lowkey sick of the word trio 💀💀💀#i dont even know why ….. it just irked me after a while …..#doesnt make any sense literally nonsensical it was just a feeling id get#thats what i hate about feelings you cant explain or justify them cause Theyre Feelings tf#you can TRY to explain them but theyre involuntary in the end and theres no objective cause for them. do we know what im saying.#im gonna go work now bye

billions twitter bingo experiences like [getting qrt'd like Thank You So Much from akd after the billions account rt'd my off the cuff acting praises] [various squares for Official Parties responding to fun niche remarks / Likes from the showrunners that have me like grabbing david levien by the shoulders like let's talk about winston] now also stamping the [it's the hours leading up to their probably winstonless series finale streaming premiere and i'm like "who tf dm'd me. oh the billions account" like well that's sure bold & brazen lol]
#it's a form ''can we use your post'' message to which i was like Yeah....didn't say which post but like can't lose. go for it#and there are some roughly more general ones tweeted out by me to be fun. & then there's nicher ones & plenty of winston; taylor; and#winston & taylor shoutouts. repost some Winston Autistic manifesto like imagine#winston billions#fun surprises from quasi livetweeting for sure....an ep director shouting out the camera operator behind a focus pull i pointed at....#adding my own flair by accidentally sending a reply 3 times in a row b/c the connection latency [message failed to send]s went thru later#hi worsties it's on sight w/showrunners but yes take any post. can't explain the wynnstan & billions dynamic lol. unfathomable & complex
